In a move set to reshape the role of IAS officers in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has announced a unique initiative aimed at boosting investment in the state. During a press conference held in Mumbai, Mr Sharma revealed that IAS officers will soon be taking on the role of ‘Investment Ambassadors’ as part of the state’s ambitious “Rising Rajasthan” Global Investment Summit 2024.
The Chief Minister detailed the plan, which involves a high-level delegation from the Rajasthan government traveling across India and to over 25 countries globally in a bid to attract significant investment. Over the next two months, the state will launch a comprehensive campaign to engage with potential investors and partners.
As part of this initiative, Sharma disclosed that IAS officers will be assigned specific geographic regions, both domestically and internationally, to foster and maintain continuous communication with entrepreneurs and their governments.
“These officers will act as the state’s representatives in these regions, ensuring sustained engagement with foreign and inter-state companies. Their role will be akin to that of diplomats, but with the added responsibility of coordinating investment efforts from within Rajasthan,” Sharma said.
